OUR MISSION
Creative Body Institute is an independent practice-based & artistic-research center founded upon core values of experimentation, community, and curiosity. We focus on the body as a site of knowledge and support the creative research of emerging, mid-career, and established artists. Through practical skill-building and mentorship, our curated programs, mentoring, site-specific residencies, and intensive courses, empower you to sustain your creative practice alongside the demands of daily life.
We study time, space, body, sound, environment, and ecology motivated by a vision for liberated interspecies futures. We work against the systematic erasure of insurgent ecological knowledges and approach art-making as an environmentally conscious and sustainable community-driven praxis. Focused on responsiveness and relationality, the Creative Body Institute functions as a laboratory of embodied exchange where artists can research their burning political questions and confront today’s most pressing societal issues with ingenuity and care.
A world of knowledge pulses with and through you. Creativity is a PRAXIS. Nurture it.
